Talk:Harrison Marks

Unconfirmed Film
In addition to the feature films and shorts listed in the article I suspect Marks may have directed the following, if anyone can confirm his involvement in these titles feel free to add them to the main article.

Emmanuelle and Friends (197?) an oddity from the early days of video, this three part featurette, running just 24mins, was released on tape in 1980 but looks as if it was made a few years earlier (mid-seventies?). The main actress who appears in the second and third parts of the film looks like the same girl who was in the ‘film within a film’ sequence in Die Lollos. Even more telling of possible Marks involvement is that Howard Nelson appears in the third part of the video as “Big Mick the Handyman”, wearing the same red tracksuit as in Duty Free. Could this be three of Marks Maximus short films complied for video release?

Marks and Mary Millington early film?
Recently an actor/model who worked for Marks in the 1970s (and whose information I‘ve draw on/incorporated into the article about Marks activities during this period) mentioned that Marks made a soft core short with Mary Millington (then known as Mary Maxted) that was filmed in 1974 and “set in a sex-shop just off Leicester Sq in London”. He could not remember the title but an acquaintance has a film on super 8mm called Sex Shop which was sold to him as "Starring Mary Millington", and which could be the film in question. This film might also be known as Sex is My Business or Sex is Our Business' which is referred in Simon Sheridan’s Millington biography as starring Millington and “occurs in an adult shop”.

My theory is that sometime in 1975/1976 Marks sold a number of his 8mm films to David Sullivan, who advertised them in his own magazines and those of others, in an Ad for a company Sullivan set up to distribute the films called “The Ultimate Film Club”. While I’ve not been able to say for certain that The Ultimate Film Club was a Sullivan company, the Ads are very much in his style and include references to Sullivan’s sex shops from which the films were available from. It also seems unlikely that Sullivan would allow rival companies to advertise in his magazines. Marks would appear to have sold Sullivan Sex is My Business at one point, as Ads for it later appear in Sullivan publications like ‘Mary Millington Porno Model’

Hopefully Sex Shop can be converted from super 8mm to VHS/DVD, in the near future, and then might shed more light on the matter.--Gavcrimson (talk) 07:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Update: this has now been transferred to DVD; the films title is Sex is My Business and was indeed directed by Marks and stars Mary Millington.

Spouse discrepancies
Three separate spouses are listed in the infobox, all with overlapping periods of marriage to Harrison Mark. One of the marriages encompasses the other two. This clearly needs verification. Nonstopdrivel (talk) 00:22, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
